Pebbledash removal in conservation area, London

Hi, As the proposed works are to the front of the house and you are changing the external appearance you would need consent from the Local Authority irrespective of it being a Conservation area. Regards any potential objections or problems I am afraid it is pretty much down to each planning department or Conversation Officer but I have found planners in Leyton easy to talk to so a call to the Duty Planner will most likely give you some heads up. Also check is to see if any of your immediate or near neighbours have had the same works done as this normally sets a precedent. Regards the removal of pebbledash - this is not always that successful is respect to revealing / uncovering good quality brickwork or that which is suitable to leave as exposed finish as often the removal of the render can damage the face of the bricks especially if they are soft reds etc. It might be worth doing a discrete sample patch first Regards David

Always refer to the council in a conservation area, they will give you all the guidance and advice you need.
